Chapter 354: Fighting(2/2)

According to post-war statistics, the number of casualties of the Qin army in this battle was more than 20,000, while the number of casualties of Wei's Northern First Army was around 12,000.

It has to be said that the Qin army with high morale is definitely the most terrifying enemy in the history of the Wei army. Even the Korean army has never been as scary as the Qin army.

Because it was getting late, the armies of Wei and Qin each retreated five miles and set up camp on the same spot, waiting to continue the war tomorrow.

Since both sides had no camps for defense, the generals of Wei and Qin were particularly cautious that night. For example, on the Wei side, the Hexi Army, which did not participate in today's fight, like Ji Yan and Le Kui, patrolled all night to prevent the Qin Army from attacking at night.

On the side of the Qin army, the soldiers and generals under the command of Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi also spent the whole night guarding against a sneak attack by the Wei army.

However, it turns out that neither King Hui of Qin nor his son-in-law King Zhao Run of Wei did a sneak attack on their opponent that night. It may be because they are stubborn and arrogant, or it may be because they knew that it was impossible to successfully attack the opponent - instead of attacking the opponent at night but being ambushed by the opponent, Because of this, they would be stigmatized and ridiculed by the other party, so they simply gave up the night attack.

At dawn the next day, after the two soldiers buried the pots and made rice, they rushed to the western suburbs of Linwei again to continue the battle that had not been completed yesterday.

On that day, the Wei army still only dispatched the Northern First Army in the front line, while the Qin army still sent out a combination of Weiyang army and servant soldiers. The remaining armies of both sides seemed to be waiting for the right opportunity.

For three days in a row, the Qin army suffered heavy losses, but the Northern Army also suffered. The strength of 60,000 to 70,000 troops was reduced by half after three days of fighting, which made King Huan Zhao Xuan extremely sad.

If he hadn't thought that he had not offended Le Yi in any way, he might not have been able to help but wonder if he had offended Le Yi in some way, so that Le Yi deliberately made his soldiers bear the casualties.

Of course, in fact, Le Yi did not deliberately target Bei Yijun, he had his own intentions.

No, on the fourth day, the Wei army's commander Le Yi discovered that the Qin army's offensive was no longer as fierce and aggressive as the previous three days. He realized that the Qin army's vigor had been almost worn out by the Northern Army, so he immediately He sent an order to King Huan Zhao Xuan, ordering the latter's soldiers to disperse to the two wings immediately after blocking the first wave of Qin army's offensive.

Yes, the real mission of the Northern Army is to weaken the Qin Army. After all, the strength of the Qin Army lies in the fact that its first few rounds of offensives were very fierce. Even the Wei Army was a bit overwhelmed. But if the Wei Army can survive the first few waves,

, then the balance of victory will gradually tilt towards the Wei army - after all, the Wei army is well-equipped and well-trained, and in terms of a protracted war, the Qin army cannot defeat the Wei army at all.

After receiving Le Yi's order, King Huan Zhao Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. After blocking the first wave of Qin army's offensive, he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat to the two wings.

When the Northern First Army gave up its defense, the Weiyang soldiers and servants were able to advance forward immediately. Unfortunately, the Hedong Army of the Wei Army's second formation took over the defense of the Northern First Army and intercepted the Qin Dynasty.

military.

Even, in cooperation with the Northern First Army that had retreated to the two wings, it launched a three-sided pincer attack on the Qin Army. If Wu Xinhou Gongsun Qi had not realized Le Yi's intention, he sent troops in time to pursue the Northern First Army on both wings, leaving the latter with no time to attack Weiyang.

Jun Yinghua, it is possible that the Qin army will suffer heavy losses that day.

But having said that, even if the troops under Wuxinhou Gongsun Qi participated in the battle, given that the Weiyang army and the servant army responsible for the main attack had lost their spirit, they ultimately did not pose any threat to the Wei army in Hedong. After several raids, Lintao Jun Wei Ji saw

There is no pain or itching at all.

After six or seven days of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the Wei and Qin armies were quite tired, so the two sides agreed to stop fighting for two days and then fight again.

In fact, at this moment, the Qin army's chance of victory was already very small. Even the morale of the servant soldiers was gradually declining and they were no longer as ferocious as they were at the beginning.

Although the situation on the Wei army's side is similar, don't forget that the Wei army on the battlefield in Hexi is only one-third of Wei's troops. Wei can still mobilize the remaining two-thirds of its troops to continue fighting against Qin, and

As for the Qin State, it has deployed nearly 90% of its regular army. Although it can still continue to recruit servants, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Qin State has almost no hope of victory in this battle. Even if it continues to recruit a large number of servants

Soldiers, this is just drinking poison to quench thirst, using the lives of servant soldiers to delay the fate of the country.

Meaningless.

All in all, in the first three days of confrontation, Weiyang Lord Ying Hua failed to defeat the Northern Army of King Huan Zhao Xuan when his Qin army was at its peak, so Qin had almost no hope of victory in this battle.

On June 23, the night before the Wei and Qin armies agreed to fight again, the King of Qin received bad news: Lian Pi, the leader of the Wei army in Hetao, marched into the north (Yiqu).

As Wei Wang Zhao Run said, Weiyang Lord Yinghua moved to Hexi. Although this move allowed the Qin army to successfully capture Pinyang, it also laid the foundation for disaster.

When Qin was in its homeland, no one could resist the Wei army.

After hearing the news, King Qin felt dizzy.
